F° ®.t~.~,E --~ REPORT NO.: WD-4-96 PAGE 2 4. THAT Mr. William W. Walker, the solicitor for Mr. Ahmad Khodkar, be advised of Council's actions. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Key Map No. 2: Copy of By-law No. 1563 passed on October 3, 1967, by the Council of the former Township of Clarke No. 3: Copy of Affidavit of Justice Richard Lovekin, formerly a solicitor for the Township of Clarke No. 4: Copy of By-law No. 95-22 No. 5: Proposed By-law exempting the proposed quit claim transfer of the portion of the closed road allowance in question to Mr. Rhodkar from the provisions of By-law No. 95-22 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 By-law No. 1563 was passed by the Council of the former Township of Clarke on October 3, 1967, pursuant to the Municipal Act ,(Attachment No. 2). it stopped up and closed a number of road allowances and parts of road allowances in the former Township of Clarke, including the road allowance between Lots 6 and 7 in the 6th Concession, extending from the southerly limit of the 6th Concession to the northerly limit of it (Attachment No. 1). According to Mr. H. E. Millson, the former Clerk of the Township of Clarke, road closing by-laws, such as By-law No. 1563, were passed when Council decided that it wished to dispose of the road allowances, Council desiring to transfer title to them to the abutting owners. In fact, parts of the .closed road allowance between Lots 6 and 7, Concession 6, have been transferred to the abutting owners and. the transfers have been registered on title. - - ` '_ REPORT NO.: WD-4-96 PAGE 3 2.2 An exception is the portion of the closed road allowance between Lots 6 and 7 situated south of Regional Road No. 9 and shown on Reference Plan 40R-16671 as Part 5 (Attachment No. 1). The abutting Parts 4 and 6, also shown on Attachment No. 1, are owned by Ahmad Rhodkar whose address is 4597 Regional Road No. 9, Rendal, Ontario. 2.3 Mr. Khodkar had purchased the lands shown as Parts 4, 5 and 6 on Plan 40R-16671 from the late Mrs. Bertha Little in 1989. However, a transfer of Part 5 (the portion of the closed road allowance in question) to Mrs. Little had not been registered on title. In order to clarify Mr. Rhodkar's title, Mr. William W. Walker, Mr. Rhodkar's solicitor, has requested that the Municipality execute a quit claim transfer releasing any interest in the portion of the closed road allowance in question to Mr, Rhodkar for a nominal consideration. 2.4 Mr. William W. Walker has made inquiries of retired Justice Richard Lovekin who formerly was the solicitor for the Township of Clarke. The property immediately to the south of Mr. Rhodkar's lands was owned in 1968 by Mrs. Catherine Fitzgibbon. By deed of conveyance, dated February 7, 1968, the portion of the closed road allowance between Lots 6 and 7 abutting Mrs. Fitzgibbon's land was conveyed to her by the Township of Clarke. This deed is registered on title. 2.5 in his affidavit (Attachment No. 3) sworn on January 4, 1996, Justice Lovekin states that, as a corollary of passing road closing by-laws including By-law No. 1563, the Township of Clarke, at that time, had a policy of deeding closed road allowances to the abutting land owners at no charge to them. Also, Justice Lovekin states that it was a practice of the Township of Clarke, after enacting a road closing by-law, to REPORT NO.: WD-4-96 PAGE 4 have him prepare deeds in favour of the abutting owners to the portions of the closed road allowances in question, and deliver the unregistered deeds to the abutting land owners for registration by them. Justice Lovekin further states that he recalls the conveyance of the portion of the closed road allowance between Lots 6 and 7 to Mrs. Fitzgibbon and states. that the deed was prepared by him in accordance with the policy and practice of the Township just mentioned. With regard to the late Mrs. Little, the predecessor in title of Mr. Rhodkar, Justice Lovekin states that he understood that in 1967 and 1968 Mrs. Little was the owner of the lands abutting the portion of the closed road allowance that lays between what is now Regional Road No. 9 and the northerly lunit of the lands conveyed,to Mrs. Fitzgibbon. Further, he states that he knows of no reason why he would not have prepared a similar deed from the Township of Clarke in favour of Bertha Little in the year 1968 for the portion of the closed road allowance in question and delivered it to her in an unregistered form., and he believes th8t that was done. 2.6 Justice Lovekin's affidavit provides persuasive evidence that a deed of conveyance of what now is shown as Part 5 on Reference Plan 40R-16671 had been delivered by Justice Lovekin to the late Mrs. Little pursuant to the Township of Clarke's policy and practice. 2.7 The Municipality's Solicitor advises that it is not a requirement to a deed of conveyance being effective that the deed be registered on title to transfer title to the portion of the closed load allowance in question from the Township of Clarke to the late Mrs. Little. Accordingly, on the basis of Justice Lovekn's affidavit, Mrs. Little would have taken title to the portion of the closed road allowance in question REPORT NO.: WD-4-96 PAGE 5 on the delivery of the deed of conveyance to her presumably in 1968. 2.8 Mr. Rhodkar is the successor in title to the late Mrs. Little to Parts 4, 5 and 6 on Plan 40R-16671. Since the beneficial owner of the portion of the closed road allowance in question would appear to be Mr. Rhodkar, the Municipality does not appear to have any beneficial interest in it. To clarify Mr. Rhodkar's tithe, the Municipality could execute a quit claim transfer and release to Mr. Rhodkar. This would be registered on title. 2.9 If the Municipality had had the beneficial ownership of the portion of the closed road allowance in question, the requirements o~ Section 193 of the Municipal Act, dealing with the sale of surplus real property and the procedures set out in By-law No. 95-22, would have to be complied with. Section 193 requires, as a general rule, that an appraisal of the value of surplus land be prepared before it is sold. However, Regulation 815/94 exempts closed road allowances from the requirement that an appraisal be prepared. Therefore, an appraisal of 'the value of the portion of the closed road allowance in question is not required. Section 193 also requires Council to pass a by-law or resolution to declare real property to be surplus before it can be sold. However, the closure ofland the sale of the beneficial interest in the portion of the closed road allowance in question took place before the Municipality was incorporated. The Municipality's Solicitor advises that, in his opinion, the current requirement o~ Section 193 of the Municipal Act being a declaration that real property is surplus does not apply in the present circumstances. REPORT NO.: WD-4-96 PAGE 6 2.10 By-law No. 95-22 (Attachment No. 4) requires that at least seven (7) days' notice be given, by way of newspaper advertisement, of the Council meeting at which a proposed sale of surplus land is to be considered. The Municipality's Solicitor advises that, if Council decides to grant Mr. Rhodkar's request, a by-law (Attachment No. 5) should be passed exempting the proposed quit claim transfer of the ..portion of the closed road allowance in question to Mr. Rhodkar from the provisions of By-law No. 95-22. 3.0 CONCLDSION 3.1 In the circumstances, it is recommended that Council approve Mr. William W. Walker's request on behalf of Mr. Ahmad Rhodkar and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute a quit claim transfer of Part 5 on Plan 40R-16671 to Mr. Rhodkar for a nominal consideration, subject to payment to the Municipality of the cost of publishing notice of the meeting of Council to consider Mr. Walker's request, the execution and delivery to the Municipality of an indemnity agreement satisfactory to the Municipality's Solicitor, and payment of the Municipality's legal expenses.

I am a retired justice of the Ontario Court General Division. Prior to my appointment to the Bench, I was a Barrister and Solicitor duly authorized to practice law in the Province of Ontario. 2. In the years 1967 and 196-8, I was practicing law as a Barrister and Solicitor and I was the solicitor for the Corporation of the Township of Clarke. 3. I have now had produced and shown to me a copy of By- law No. 1563 for the Corporation of the Township of Clarke dated October 3, 1967 and registered February 2, 1968 in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of the West Riding of the County of Durham as No. N35581 which closed and stopped-up certain road allowances in the Township of Clarke including the road allowance between Lots 6 and 7 in the 6th Concession of the said Township of Clarke. ATTACHMENT N0. 3 WD-4-96 ~~~~~~ -z- 4. I recall that at that time the said Township of Clarke was seeking to close a number of road allowances which the municipality knew were not required by it and would not be required in the future so as to reduce its potential financial responsibilities for any maintenance and repair. 5. I further recall that as a corollary to the closing of the said road allowances that it was the policy of the Township of Clarke at that time to deed the said closed road allowances to the abutting land owners at no charge to them. 6. It was the practice of the Township of Clarke, after enacting the appropriate By-law to close a road allowance, to have me prepare deeds in favour of the abutting land owners to the portions of the closed road allowances in question and subsequently, the unregistered deeds were delivered to the abutting land owners for registration by them. 7. I have now also had produced and shown to me a copy of a deed dated February 7, 1968 and registered February 15, 1968 in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of the West Riding of the County of Durham as No. N35665 which is a deed from the Township of Clarke to Catherine Marion Fitzgibbon under which a portion of the closed road allowance lying between Lots 6 and 7, Concession 6 was conveyed to her. ~~~ %<~.~_ _. - 3 - 8. The said deed was prepared by me in accordance with the policy and practice of the Township of Clarke mentioned above. 9. It is my understanding that in 1967 and 1968, Bertha Little was the owner of the lands in Lot 7 and Lot 6, Concession 6, Township of Clarke abutting the portion of the road allowance that lay between what is now Regional Road Number 9 and the northerly limit of the lands conveyed to Fitzgibbon under Instrument No. N35665. 10. Having reviewed the said Instrument No. N35665 in favour of Fitzgibbon and keeping in mind the policy and practice of the Township of Clarke at the time, .I know-of no reason why I would not have prepared a similar deed from the Township of Clarke in favour of Bertha Little in the year 1968 for the portion of the closed road allowance in question and that it would have been subsequently delivered to her in an unregistered form and I believe that that was done. ~ ~ /,; SWORN BEFORE ME at the ~ ~ l / // / /; /: Municipality of Clarington in the Regional M icipality of Durham this day of January !1,99'6.
